Just curious - are you a veterinary technician? I am and because of the potential risks I elected to tell my coworkers as soon as I knew. My doctor said first trimester is most important in regards to xrays and anesthetic gases. I was hesitant because we haven't had our ultrasound yet. You can get a respirator for anesthesia that greatly reduces your risk - if you are a vet tech your clinic will usually purchase that for you.
You can always call your Dr ahead of time tho and ask a nurse.. It might be best for peace of mind
Thank you ceceila4, that makes me feel better! Sometimes It's just not avoidable. And keelie81, I am a veterinarian so I do not work in a field where I would know what amount of exposure is safe for a pregnant human. I plan to ask my doctor but as I stated I haven't had my first appointment yet so I was hoping there were other women here who have been in the same situation.
As long as you are protecting yourself, u should be ok, I am a dental assistant and did X-rays throughout my first pregnancy(mon-fri) and my son came out perfect.. I still assist and take X-rays with this baby also, the way they make X-ray machines now days, u get more radiation from the sun.. Good lick and Congrats!!
This is not something you should be asking us. You work in the field so you should know. Call your doctor
